Secure, open bicycle shelters and facilities

Looking for a secure bike shelter? Since 2003, Altinnova has been offering secure bike shelters perfectly suited for the needs of your employees, clients, or citizens. As experts in cycling infrastructure, we’ve developed a complete range of secure bike shelters over the years.

We distinguish between two types of shelters: collective-use shelters and individual shelters. Individual shelters consist of secure bike lockers that hold one bicycle each, offering a reliable storage solution. Collective shelters, on the other hand, are enclosed or open spaces equipped with metal racks and stands that allow cyclists to safely park their bikes, protected from both bad weather and vandalism.

 

Discover our secure bike shelters, specially designed for local authorities and businesses committed to promoting sustainable, eco-friendly mobility.

 

Need a safe space to protect bikes from the weather and theft?
Our enclosed bike shelters are the ideal solution to ensure bike safety while providing protection from the elements. Whether you’re an individual looking to protect your bicycle or a municipality seeking to offer secure parking for users, our solutions are tailored to meet your needs.

 

Why opt for secure bicycle shelters?

At a time when soft mobility is increasingly in demand as a means of promoting ecological and sustainable alternatives, our bicycle shelters meet a growing need. All our bike shelters are eco-designed and made in France, making us pioneers in this field in the country. They are made from top-of-the-range materials, guaranteeing their durability.

Greater safety for bicycles

Safety is the main reason why cyclists look for secure bicycle shelters. These shelters offer increased protection against theft and vandalism, thanks to robust locking systems and hard-wearing construction materials. Users can rest assured that their bikes are safe, even when left for long periods. This promotes cycling in the city and encourages more people to opt for this environmentally-friendly mode of transport.

Protection from the elements

Secure bike shelters also offer effective protection against the elements. Whether it’s rain, snow, wind or intense sun, these shelters protect bicycles, extending their life and reducing maintenance requirements. A well-protected bike is not only more pleasant to use, it also retains its value over the long term.

Access control

Secure bike shelters are designed with different access control systems. This control system limits the number of people with access to the premises, further enhancing security.

This safety feature encourages the daily use of bicycles by offering practical, secure parking.

How choose a bike shelter ?

Criteria to consider when choosing a secure bike shelter

When choosing a secure bike shelter, a number of criteria need to be taken into account to ensure optimum use and maximum safety.

Suitable building materials

It is essential to choose shelters built from robust, durable materials such as galvanised steel, aluminium or weather-resistant composites. These materials ensure a long service life and resistance to attempts at theft or vandalism.

Efficient locking system

A good locking system is crucial. Options can include key locks, electronic systems with magnetic cards or access codes. An effective locking system deters thieves and provides additional security.

Storage capacity

It’s important to choose a shelter with the right storage capacity for the number of bikes to be parked. Individual shelters are ideal for small numbers, while collective shelters are better suited to businesses or public spaces with large numbers of cyclists.

Individual bike shelters: for optimum protection

Individual bike shelters offer maximum security for each bike. They are ideal for private homes, apartment buildings or small businesses. Each bike is parked in a separate unit, reducing the risk of damage and theft.

Communal bicycle shelters: practical solutions for large companies or public spaces

Communal bike shelters are designed to accommodate several bikes in the same secure space. They are ideal for businesses, schools, parks and other public places. These shelters provide efficient and practical storage for a large number of users, while offering adequate protection against theft and bad weather.
